Coronavirus

[hungry101]

Legault is a clown. It is always the fault of the bars and gyms. Reality is cases were stable till schools reopened. Kids are super spreaders of viruses and then they bring it home and pass it on to their parents.

Not with Covid. In fact Iceland did a contact tracing study and researchers didn't find a single instance of a child bringing Covid home and infecting their parents. If the children ever caught it, one of the parents brought it home to them. The study concluded that children do not seem to be vectors for the disease. Likewise NYC closed down the schools because the positivity rate reached 3% for the total population. The positivity rate in the schools was <0.2%.

Then why did the cases spike right after Labor Day and when the bars were forced to close the cases still remain high? I am sure people were still having parties on the low during the summer.

'Some of this contact is much more close than is necessary,' said Dr. Chris Mackie, 'and exactly the sort of thing that we believe is bound to spread the COVID-19 virus.'

Like many big state universities, it tried to open with some semblance of normalcy. Outbreaks ensued.

Sorry Cloud - Let me be more clear. I was referring to the school kids. I believe it is particularly the younger children that do not seem to be a vector for the disease.

My son just informed my that in Quebec 10 people are allowed for Christmas and New Years is a no.


Here are the key dates to keep in mind:

• Dec.17: Voluntary quarantine period begins. School moves online.
• Dec. 24-27: Indoor gatherings permitted, maximum 10 people, no limit on how many households can attend.
• Dec. 28: Voluntary quarantine period resumes.
• Jan. 3: Voluntary quarantine period ends.
• Jan. 4: Elementary school classes resume in-person. High school students attend class online.
• Jan. 11: High school students return to in-person classes.

The conditions
The prospect of a short period of near normalcy next month will be welcomed eagerly by most Quebecers.

Much of the province has been under partial lockdown since October. Restaurants and bars are closed and most gatherings are prohibited.

Legault confirmed what many had suspected would happen: The current partial lockdown will be extended until Jan. 11. And government programs to help businesses affected, such as gyms and restaurants, will also be extended.

The measures appear to have stopped the exponential rise in new cases, but Quebec still registers upward of 1,000 new infections daily. There are currently 651 COVID-19 patients in the province's hospitals.

Public Health Director Dr. Horacio Arruda made it clear on Thursday the holiday plan depends on cases and hospitalizations remaining stable, and Quebecers continuing to follow public health guidelines.

NY's governor Cuomo will be getting an Emmy for his Coronavirus press briefings. This will help him with his book tour.

Cuomo will be acknowledged for "his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world."

This is ridiculous. Instead of the most recent preser, Legault should have just spit in the face of all the "essential workers".

Yes, the new cases spikes as soon as the kids are back to school, there are over 1000 schools in QC closed due to the outbreak in those school. It is the fact, and the numbers are there! But the media keep it low! Shutttt !Please do not mention it, Legault don't want to close the schools, so just keep it for yourself!

I think his skills would translate well if he had chosen to be an actor rather than politician. Reagan did both careers, and I think Cuomo could pull that off too. I could see him playing the Steven Van Zandt role in Lilyhammer.

I have an idea:
A new lottery, "The COVID lottery"

If we have COVID, what consequences will we have? we put all the possibilities in a vase and you get it.

Nothing, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), anxiety, cardiovascular abnormalities, depression, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, hyperlipidemia, lipid metabolism disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, reduced lung capacity, chronic fatigue, loss of taste and smell.

What`s really scary for thousands of young people (between 20 and 40) , is the chronic illnesses they are left with after experiencing and recovering from a mild case of covid19.
Post covid symptoms :
Partial paralysis, tingling and trembling in hands and feet, trouble with balance, excrutiating headaches , trouble sleeping , fatigue, unable to concentrate and memory loss. Its like they`ve aged 50 years overnight.
Nobody knows what causes these health issues but the 2 main candidates are an auto-immune over reaction , and/or small blood clots forming in the brain and other vital organs.

Over 3 million people travelling in the US so far, more to come.
People completely ignoring the spiking virus and all scientists telling them to stay home and not have large family gatherings.

This is obviously not their fault none of these people have a mind of their own they cannot be held responsible for their actions.
It is that fucking big Orange asshole‘s fault he should have known this. He should have closed down all airports locked down all cities during the Thanksgiving weekend and had the army declaring a curfew.
All this will obviously change as Biden has a way with words to reach into these peoples hearts and mindless heads.

 

[hungry101]

I think they’re fed up Fradi. Fed up with politicos telling them to stay home and then later see videos and photos of that very same politician out eating at an exclusive restaurant like Gavin Newsom or Tom Wolf or out getting their hair did like Nancy Pelosi or Mayor Beetlejuice Lori Lightfoot. How about those west coast liberal law makers traveling to Hawaii for a conference? Why the hell would anyone listen to those stupid edicts by those fucking hypocrites?

laws for thee and not for me.

Never the big Orange asshole of Orange would have done that, he prefers to have good numbers for unemployment than good numbers in terms of deaths.

Die my fellow citizens in your cars going to look for food.

 

[Fradi]

Die my fellow citizens in your cars going to look for food.

You have a one track mind and Donald fixation.
Reply to what I wrote if you quote me, your fellow citizens are not dying waiting in cars for food, they are dying being mindless idiots crowding in airports and planes and carrying the virus to give it to all their other mindless loving relatives.

Perhaps Hungry is right they are just fed up of hypocritical politicians telling them to do one thing and then completely ignoring it for themselves as if they are better than the average Joe, which for sure is most scumbag politicians mindset.

So, it is being mentioned that COVID cases could get to 20,000 - 60,000 per day across the country by the end of the year.

Daily increases in cases seem to be not changing much in Quebec but isn't the recent spike in cases across the country still quite worrisome since movement still happens between the provinces?

Update:

Yesterday in the United States = 175,000 new cases and almost 2,200 deaths
The closest country is India = 35,000 new cases.
What are The United States doing for their dead? soon 260,000

No time for prayers, much less to hug them before the long trip
